The Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA) has extended its condolences to the governor of Jigawa State, Mallam Umar Namadi over the tragic loss of his beloved mother, Hajiya Maryam Namadi and his eldest son, Abdulwahab Namadi.
In a condolence letter signed by the SAA Nigeria country director, Dr. Godwin Atser the association stated that losing two cherished family members in such close succession is a grief too profound to be consoled with words, as the depth of sorrow within the family can only be imagined.
“Losing two cherished family members in such close succession brings immeasurable grief and we can only imagine the depth of sorrow your family is experiencing at this moment,” Atser said in the letter. “We are profoundly saddened to learn of this heartbreaking loss.”
The letter further noted, “The late Hajiya Namadi exuded love, wisdom and strength that those who knew her will forever cherish,” adding that, “Abdulwahab’s promising life was a testament to the values you tirelessly worked to build for your family and the people of Jigawa State. Their memories will continue to inspire all who were touched by their presence.”
The SAA prayed that Allah (SWT) forgives the departed souls, grants them Aljannah Firdaus, and bestows upon the Governor and his family the fortitude to bear the painful loss. The organisation also expressed its solidarity with the governor and the people of Jigawa State, assuring him that “the Sasakawa Africa Association stands with you during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you, your family and the good people of Jigawa State.” A statement by the SAA communication officer, Moses Nongoatse noted that a delegation led by the SAA/KSADP project coordinator, Abdulrasheed Kofarmata who represented the country director, presented the condolence letter to the governor at the Government House in Dutse, Jigawa State.
